Is he going to clear coat or use film over them?
Thumbs, iPhone, Tapatalk.
No clear film. The guy was unbelievably experienced at this. In his opinion, he highly advised against clear film, as doesn't really make a difference. According to him, it is there only because of an NTSB mandate and is a nightmare to sand-off. Mind you, maybe an aftermarket film that you can manually peel-off yourself would be a better alternative. Apparently, he's been doing this for the past 4 years and he has yet to see one of his jobs go bad. I thought that's inevitable, especially if you drive on dirty highways a lot but only time will tell. He guarantees his work for 2 years with an option of a free refinish within that time. He was at it for good 2 hours and charged me his standard rate of $60/job.Quote:

Here're the before and after results:

Looks Good Giya, they look like new. I bought some tinted Laminx for my headlights. They go well with the SGM and black kidney grilles. Best part is you can peel them off if needed.

Ohhhhh I like!
Was it a pain to put on? or is there a trick to it?
Not bad at all.
-Clean lights
-Heat up film slightly with a hair dryer. This makes it easier to work with.
-Spray lights with water mixed with a touch of Dawn.
-Apply film and squeegee the excess water out from behind.
-Use a hair dryer to finish.
-The using an exacto knife trim any excess film.
It's just like tinting windows. I got the Laminx from ECSTuning.
Very nice Giya. The factory film is terrible :\

Also had a chance to install the ///M strut brace off of Sean (Pip's) ride. He soon will be sporting the BMW Performance CF bar on his ///M ;)

Why did you decide to swap the BMW perf bar for the ///M bar?
